ThinkBroadBand Information

Back in 2000, the word 'broadband' meant very little to most people, except early adopters of 'always on' Internet technology. We were looking forward to being able to access the Internet without needing to use a dial-up modem and as soon as broadband trials started, we were some of the first users to sign up to services which back then started at £50 a month, didn't provide connectivity to more than one computer at a time by default, and came with a hefty £150 setup fee on top! We started this website (called ADSLguide.org.uk back then as our focus was on ADSL technology specifically) to inform early adopters of how to get the most out of what was then, an amazingly fast Internet connection. Over the next couple of years, we became the de facto broadband information resource for UK Internet users and the press alike. In 2006, we renamed the site thinkbroadband, recognising that our site was about broadband rather than ADSL as a specific broadband technology. Today, we include cable, wireless, fibre and other broadband services. Our goal is to provide a fair and impartial atmosphere for broadband providers, users and other stakeholders to discuss relevant topics. We are independent of any broadband suppliers, offer our broadband ISP listings free of charge to any ISP that meets our listing criteria, regardless of whether or not they are willing to pay us a small fee when a user signs up having visited our site. This makes us different to most broadband comparison websites which are run solely, or at least primarily to receive commission from broadband providers when users sign up. We are passionate about broadband and we do this to help people, rather than running it as a large enterprise designed to sell you a new broadband service. "We don't just want you to come to our site so that we can persuade you to switch to a new broadband provider, earning us a few quid in return"
